Quantum Computing: a short course from theory to experiment.
Wiley-VCH. 2004
This is the first textbook on the topic which discusses theoretical foundations
as well as experimental realizations in detail.
The authors, both experienced teachers, didactically prepare the basics of
quantum communication and quantum information processing,
leading readers to modern technical implementations.
They also discuss errors and decoherence as well as methods of avoiding and correcting them.
